Job description
Stripe cares deeply about the user experience, from getting started, to going live, to managing an existing integration. Our documentation must serve the complex and evolving needs of our users, while conveying simplicity and earning trust.

- Independently derive insights directly from metrics and CSAT to drive planning and prioritization decisions
- Help define an efficient workflow for contributing documentation, from feedback on tools to documenting internal processes and standards
- Maintain content quality through curation and content performance analysis
- Work with technical writers, engineers, and product managers on a holistic approach to content across different products, audiences, use cases, and interfaces. This may include documentation, videos, diagrams, interactive tutorials, or something we’ve yet to invent.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- An expert in delivering high-quality software documentation
- Able to shape and articulate a compelling vision, with the ability to influence across teams
- Adept at developing and interpreting metrics
- Excellent at project management
- Adept at communicating technical concepts clearly and precisely

- Experience with large information architecture projects
You should include these in your application:

We look forward to hearing from you.
At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns.
